>red pilled
>Spends his days doing gang shit to look cool

Other than Baldwin, Miller and Melville it's a bunch of shit, and Tupac didn't read Moby Dick I can tell you that for certain. That's probably just the list of books he checked out

>Spends his days doing gang shit to look cool
Well that was the influence of "we wuz opressed by da white man n shiet" mentality, he was a smart kid if he lived long enough he might've . changed

I think you meant to say >spent his days pretending to do gang shit to curate an image that he knew would allow him to make millions of dollars
There’s an interview with him as a teen on YouTube, in it he comes across as anything but a thug. He postured as a gangster for money, and he paid the price for his disingenuity with his life

Probably that too, or probably the media doesn't want an black independent thinker character probably the media only wants black characters that shoot each other, call each other names, and blame da whitey.

>he was a smart kid
No he wasn't. Average at best

Exactly, he saw what the media wanted and he gave it to them.
What makes you think that?

He was in between, I'd say.

"I've been trapped since birth, cautious 'cause I'm cursed
And fantasies of my family in a hearse
And they say it's the white man I should fear
But it's my own kind doin' all the killin' here
I can't lie, ain't no love for the other side
Jealousy inside, make 'em wish I died
Oh my Lord, tell me what I'm livin' for
Everybody's droppin', got me knockin' on Heaven's door
And all my memories of seein' brothers bleed
And everybody grieves, but still nobody sees
Recollect your thoughts, don't get caught up in the mix
'Cause the media is full of dirty tricks"

"I'm having nightmares, homicidal fantasies
I wake up stranglin', danglin' my bed sheets
I call the nurse 'cause it hurts, to reminisce
How did it come to this? I wish they didn't miss

Somebody help me, tell me where to go from here
'Cause even thugs cry, but do the Lord care?
Try to remember, but it hurts
I'm walkin' through the cemetery talkin' to the dirt

I'd rather die like a man, than live like a coward
There's a ghetto up in Heaven and it's ours, Black Power
Is what we scream as we dream in a paranoid state
And our fate, is a lifetime I hate

Dear mama, can you save me? And fuck peace
'Cause the streets got our babies, we gotta eat
No more hesitation each and every black male's trapped
And they wonder why we suicidal runnin' 'round strapped"
